My Valentine's Gift

I am so totally stoked - wait until you see my Valentine's present - 

you are so totally going to be jealous.  

First let me tell you a little about "my love". 

He loves me, he really does. (and I adore him)

He just doesn't get the whole present thing. 

You see, at any time, if I really want something (obviously within reason my friends) 

I can just buy it. 

And so he doesn't understand the concept of "it's the thought that counts." 

That I want to be thought of, for him to take the time to do it for me. 

And so each year he buys me roses for Valentines Day. 

They require no thought, he can stop at any florist and pick them up and he has fulfilled the 

requirement for the day. 

It is really bad form to be unhappy with a dozen roses - I know!

This year I had a great idea - I have been eying my gift for awhile but just couldn't bring myself to 

plunk down the moulah. 

So, I sweetly asked for it instead of roses.

Please. 

So my husband handed me the cash, you could tell he was relieved. 

And I got this: 

WOOHOO!

This is the 15 1/4" size - it is a monster of a pan - I cannot WAIT to fry my bacon in it tomorrow!

I told you, you would be jealous - ;o)

And this year Doug gets the award for "most useful and longest lasting gift". 

And EXACTLY what I wanted!

And like I said I am stoked! You can read about my iron skillet love affair here!
